Holding On

~Five years together and you don’t look at me the same,
But I feel I’m not the one to blame.

     ~ I never asked where you were that night,
Before you left you’re the one who started the fight.

     ~ All the arguing and painful words you spoke to me so you had a reason not to come 
home, when I called to make up you had shut off your cell phone.
     
     ~ I knew deep inside you were spending your time with someone else,
While I waited up all night you were out thinking only of yourself.

     ~ In the morning you came home telling me your phone battery died,
But you must have thought I was stupid and didn’t know whenever you lied.
     
     ~ I should have known better than to give love another try,
Because I left you and two years later I still can’t say good-bye.
